US President Donald Trump will travel to California to see first-hand the devastation wrought by unseasonal wildfires. The blazes across the West Coast have left at least 35 dead, with dozens more missing, and millions of acres burned.
The death toll climbed to at least 69 as firefighters, soldiers and civilian volunteers battled blazes in forests across northern Algeria on Wednesday, in the latest wildfires to sweep the Mediterranean. President Abdelmadjid Tebboune declared three days of national mourning starting from Thursday, and authorities say they suspect widespread arson after so many fires erupted in such a short space of time.
Forest fires have broken out in Russia's Chelyabinsk region near Kazakhstan and in north-eastern Siberia.
